About Us
Our Strategy
Three priorities that turn our mission into measurable change for Afghan women, youth and their families.
Empower Afghan communities, especially women, with the tools, skills and resources to improve livelihoods and achieve food security.
A prosperous, self-reliant Afghanistan where individuals, particularly women, generate sustainable livelihoods and ensure food security for their families.
Strategic priorities
- 01
Skills that lead to work
Market-relevant vocational and technical training for women and youth, with literacy, numeracy and business modules, so that graduates find employment or start enterprises.
How we measure it
- Graduates employed or self-employed six months after training
- Courses selected through local market assessment
- 02
Food security and resilient livelihoods
Food and cash linked to training, household agriculture and livestock, and climate-smart practices that help rural families withstand drought and economic shocks.
How we measure it
- Households with improved food consumption scores
- Productive assets in use one year after distribution
- 03
Women’s participation and protection
Safe spaces, female-led delivery and community awareness that expand women’s voice in household and community decisions, and reduce risks to women and children.
How we measure it
- Women participating in community decision-making
- Referral pathways in place in every programme area
